More wretched excess on the Salsa Vaya

Yesterday I went on a bike ride from home looking for things like this:

on trails like this:

and ended up riding through no fewer than eight parks, 50 miles of mixed dirt and pavement, and roughly 5000 feet of climbing.

Another day, another fine ride.  Good bike.

For the curious, parks were:

Fremont Older Open Space Preserve
Montebello Open Space Preserve
Upper Stevens Creek County Park
Long Ridge Open Space Preserve
Skyline Ridge Open Space Preserve
Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve
Coal Creek Open Space Preserve
Arastradero Preserve

Could have easily picked up a couple more, given more time.  Good place to live.
